What is History of Banking in India about?

Banking has a long history in India, with evidence of money-lending operations dating back to 2000-1400 BC in Vedic times. Ancient texts also provide evidence of bankers called sresthis during the Buddhist period. Hindu law texts from ancient times prescribed interest rates, typically around 15% annually, and some differentiated rates based on risk levels of different business activities. Only members of the Vaishya caste were permitted to operate as bankers according to ancient religious texts.
